00:00Yeah, we're trying to. It's interesting. It was a question I got today. And I think it's much deeper than people think. You know, we tend to measure things in the aggregate. We don't live in the aggregate. Yeah, it's not about GDP. It's about communities. These small businesses. This is not with all due respect about Apple and NVIDIA.
00:28You know, it's not about Tim Cook being able to make a call and get an exemption or some of those farmers that after the rage in Ventura on behalf of the Farm Bureau, because they were big donors to Donald Trump, made the call. So he the next day said, I'm going to back off. Of course, he didn't, but said he would. They have no advocate, these small businesses. It's incalculable when you're down six to seven percent in business.
00:56Imagine being down 60 or 70 percent. You don't get that back. You could lose your house because you've got a line of credit on your house against your business. You could lose everything, your dreams, your family.
01:11How do you calculate that? And so I don't know the answer that I want to know. I'm mindful. We need to understand that.
01:21And I just I pray that that these guys pay attention to Washington, D.C. and end this charade. Thank you guys very, very much. Thank you.
